Facebook and Global Anesthesia

It's not my job to be a balm for guilty consciences who seek only to be amused and pacified. That's just wrapping death around you in a blanket and makes you of no consequence whatever.

Yes, go ahead and drop me. Be real or be gone.  (First appeared on Facebook)

The anesthetization to prevent contact with anything real is pervasive, almost ubiquitous, on social networks.  It seems it spread across the world but who knows what source.

This sort of thing doesn't even faze them because they're only marginally aware of what happened in Libya and they end up believing any hogwash Clinton throws at them about it.

Sarah Palin was only partly correct in calling Americans sheeple as it seems much more accurate to regard them as dead.  They don't know what happens around them and they don't care so what aspect of that does not satisfy the definition of death.  More than likely Starbucks is full to the gills with the undead.

The incredibly good Reverend Silas T Sasquatch wrote the "Hellbound Train" material but those walking undead will get there long before he will.   They're all praying to go to Heaven or win the PowerBall, whichever comes first.

There's not really a problem with Internet as it's impossible for it to have a problem when it's dead as well.  That has become the primary vehicle for delivering false medical information and the Internet is loaded with it.  A girl in Australia made enormous money claiming a natural food diet cured her cancer.  She has since been absolutely disgraced and faces charges.  Good job, Australia.

When you claim false cures for cancer will work, the only consequence is gullible people will die but, see above, they don't care; the money is too good.

The American people are defined for all sides by whomever they put in Congress and that organization has been a global disgrace of self-entitlement, self-aggrandizement, and almost zero accomplishment.  When it comes to false science, even the natural food cancer cures can't spew more bullshit than Congress.  They couldn't find reality with a GPS and a troop of Boy Scouts.

Whenever anyone in corporate says, oh, that decision was political, it's only an expression of incompetence.  You couldn't get it done, in other words.  Thanks for the ineffectual try, tho.  That's ameliorated, to some extent, by gross duplicity from the upper management staff and probably most through rank of VP in a bank which makes it impossible to get it done.  In that circumstance, it's political is only a euphemism for the organization is corrupt to the core.

Note:  everyone in a bank reaches VP if you stay there long enough.

I'm not cynical.  I see my Rasta friend smiling in Mozambique where they don't have to put up with all the duplicitous and disingenuous crap coming out of Washington, at least until D.C. decides to bomb them.  They don't need a reason (witness Gulf of Tonkin false flag - documented in WIKI), they kill people because they like it.   If they did not then they would stop it.

There's only one we see with a clear perspective on Washington and will try to do anything to fix the problems.  That remains Bernie Sanders and in him we have no cynicism at all.  We recognize honesty when we see it and we see precious little of it anywhere else.
